Population Education brings timely, real-world issues into the classroom.

World population recently reached 7 billion and continues to grow, changing the way we use natural resources and function as societies. Population Education is the ultimate multidisciplinary field - it’s ecology, human geography, environmental studies, anthropology, economics, biology, public health, sociology, history and civics all rolled into one, with a good bit of mathematics to help us understand where we’ve come from and where we might be headed.

Lesson plans on the World of 7 Billion website help teachers capitalize on the teachable moment of world population reaching 7 billion. With activities for both middle and high school classrooms, the site helps you bring current, relevant, and real-world topics into your classroom.
